British actor and rapper Ashley Walters explores the UK's influence on hip-hop.

To mark hip-hop’s 50th anniversary, this series explores the UK's influence on hip-hop. From foundational British artists to the unexpected encounters that influenced a generation, each episode will tell the story of a surprising but significant link between the UK and a key moment in hip-hop history.

Each episode starts with a key moment. We'll then reveal the UK involvement through interviews and archive moments, and ask why it matters now.
